I have a quick update on the Schedule Maintenance Mode RESKIT Tool, also some information \ best practices.

Best Practices:

  • Do not go beyond 20 Jobs scheduled.  Anything over this will start to place too much load on your Root Management Server
  • Do not schedule more then 20 items in one Job.  If you need to go over this please create a group and target this.  Note: The MP has a bug that only limits you to select up to six objects.  I have attached an updated MP that corrects this issue below.
  • When scheduling a group make sure to select system.group then select the group.  If you select the group itself the tool lists the individual group membership.

Known Issues:

  • A common issue with our international customers is a date time casting exceptions or the schedule is not landing on the correct day.  This tool was designed and tested on EN-US only.  I cannot make any promises but I will look into extending this to support other locals in the future.  The work around is to install the Windows EN-US language pack.
